Best Energy Reduction Technologies (BERT), LLC, the leading supplier of Wi Fi based plug load management systems, announces the immediate availability of integration for the Cisco Energy Manager (CEM) Cloud Solution. The fully integrated CEM and Bert solution allows customers to easily manage and reduce the energy usage all of their Plug Load, both IT and non-IT, through a single cloud based user interface.

About CEM Bert Integration

The Bert family of products extends the Cisco Energy Manager (CEM) solution to monitor, measure, and control plug loads that are not enabled with Internet Protocol (IP). By using Bert and the existing Wi Fi network, Plug Load devices such as laptop charging carts, smart boards, coffee makers, copiers, water coolers, vending machines, water heaters, exhaust fans and window air conditioners become IP addressable so they can be remotely measured, analyzed and controlled.

“The combination of the Cisco Energy Manager (CEM) and Bert is the first cloud solution to manage both IP and non-IP plug load at both the individual device and circuit level,” says Scott Yetter, CEO Best Energy Reduction Technologies, LLC (BERT).
